Now that school is back in session, I'm sure you've been asked a million times, "What did you do over the summer?" If you're like thirteen year old Salamanca, you would have gone on a cross country trip with your grandparents for a week. But this is no ordinary vacation. It's more a search and rescue for Salamanca's mother, who has been in Idaho since April. As they embark on their adventure, Salamanca is called upon to tell a story and we soon begin to hear about a mysterious girl named Phoebe Winterbottom, her missing mother, and a "potential lunatic". As the stories and events unfold, Salamanca learns a lot about herself and the importance of family. Will Salamanca be able to bring her mother back? What ever happens to Phoebe and the lunactic? Will Salamanca survive being stuck in a car with her grandparents for a week?
